ARAB AND PERSIAN HORSES.

ARAB AND PERSIAN HORSES.
The general run of Arabs are no
doubt frst-rate horses, as far as they
go, for military purposes, but they are
too small to mount satisfactorily any
but native cavalry. There are, of
course, exceptional animals, which have
size and power enough for anything,
but they are so few that they may be
left out of the general estimate which
we take of the race. For any soldier
whose weight is such that he can be
mounted on an Arab he will be found
the hardest, soundest, and most docile
o. warehouses;. He will do an enormous
amount of work on very little and very
Indifferent food, and will always bear
himself we'll and handsomely. In one
point only is he, more then other horses,
susceptible of disease. and that is his
eve, which is liable to cataract. His
great characteristic is his undaunted
pluck, which is never more clearly
shown than when by any chance he is
i'll, when all veterinary surgeons will
allow that he is most admirable patti
emit, resisting and throwing off the eff
fects of illness or treatment in way that
no horse of another race can equal.
Persian horses have always been. found
among the most generally useful re-
mounts in India, and they take their
place both in the ranks of cavalry and
in gun teams. They have more power
and size than Arabs, with much of the
same constitutional good qualities, and
"a matter of great Importance to the
State-they are generally cheaper in

MILK AT LESS THAN ONE CENT QUART.
Experiments have been made at the
Massachusetts agricultural experiment
station to determine the cost of quart
Of milk when feeding various kinds of
food in different combinations. These
consisted of bran, shorts, corn meal,

factories), hay, corn fodder, and corn
ensilage. The result is reported as

RAISING CALVES BY HAND

NAISANd CALV LIS 81 HAND
An Iowa farmer tells the readers of
the Inter- Ocean how he. raises calves,
and, as the reader will observe; he raises
a good many. He says: 7 "a = ~ :
In most cases it is supposed to he
good policy to follow nature. But here
is evidently an exception to that rule.
In the estimation of some people, it is
.'too much trouble to raise calves by
hand others think they s.will do better
if allowed to run with the cows" The
trouble of teaching q calf to drink milk
is of short duration, while separating a
hungry calf from the COW twice day
for three months is as troublesome a
task asI care for, to say nothing of my
sympathy for the poor hungry thing.
And if q calf that is fed regularly three
times per day on q ration of skim milk,
with tho addition of 4 little bran, shorts,
OF, oil meal, is compared with one that
has the usual fate Of being ''knocked in
the head with the milk pail the adj
vantage will be decidedly in favor Of
the former. Ionce made an estimate of
the value Of the milk a calf would con-
sumo while getting q miserable living
sucking the COW, and found it to be
worth about $l2, while y scrub calf
would be worth at weaving time about
IS. Whatis there then to offset this 81
worth Of milk and about 81 worth Of
trouble.

The COURT BILL.
First Blood In the Ceunc,l for the
NnnlrHn.. la, -

First Blood in the Council for TIL
Yankton side.
The following specialo of the 14th, from
Bismarck. gives the details of the first
clash in the council over the bill to re-
move the United States court from Yanks
ton to Mitchell:
The fight over the bill providing for
the removal of the United States district
court from Yankton to Mitchell opened
IN this council to-day, and the first round
resulted decidedly to the advantage OF
Yankton. Two southern members who
favor Yankton-Erlckson and Bogart-
we're absent, but were paired with
Hughes and Donovan on this question.
Allen OF Walsh county, who has been
counted favorable to Mitchell, this morn
ing received o telegram, which required
his presence at home and he remained
down town to an ait the arrival OF the
train from the west. This left
the council divided on the cues.
ton of removal, ten for Yapkton
and nine for Mitchell, counting
Martin for the former and Weiser for
the latter. The Yankton people took
advantage OF the situation and carried o
motion instructing the committee hay
ing the bill in charge TO report it with
out delay, the purpose being to get it
before the council and kill il on q mo-
tion to pass. Unexpectedly Martin voted
against the motion, but equally to the
surprise of the Mitchell people Welser
voted in favor OF it. 1t is claimed that
when it comes 20 the final vote Martin
will go with Yankton, which will give
that side two majority. When it be-
came known TO the Mitchell party what
was on foot, they made haste /: = hunt
up Allen, who was in the city. He
claimed to have been paired with
Wasbabaugh, but it is said the fact was
developed that he was paired on q
10. of other questions except the
court removal. In explanation of the
change in the aspect OF affairs il is assert.
ed to-pight that Weiser and Allen have
gone permanently over to Yaukton, and
that in return for their votes on this
question they are to be helped through
with Weiser's bill, in the hands of the
committee on railroads, enlargipg the
powers of the railroad commissioners
Unless other disposition is made of il
the removal bill will come to q fna
vote Tomorrow, but it is said befor,
this is GDne @ motion II to be carried
li%nstrnoting the committee on railroad
to report back Weisei's bill forthwith
It certainly looks now as though
Mitchell was worsted, but experience,
shows that it isn't safe ia count oombi
nation chickens till they are Matched.
